Dia-Logo Therapy: Psychonarration and PaRDeS

(no dust jacket, probably as issued) [nice clean as-new copy, clean text, no discernible wear]. From the author's preface: "The Jewish pluralistic interpretation system known under the acronym PaRDeS, which will be introduced in this book, entails the potential therapeutic bridge between the rational-material and the irrational-mystic worlds that I have sought ever since I first immersed myself in studies about the Judeo-Christian impact on Western social sciences in the early 1970s. I have thus devoted this book to the study of psychotherapy as a dual, or a 'dia-logic,' discourse between the rational-cognitive and the mystic-schizophrenic languages." (He also acknowledges that the book "was written immediately after my beloved youngest son, Boaz, was killed in action in the Israeli army, as a result of which I felt more than ever a need to relate to the world of the transcendental unknown.")
